Cowes Week
Official Sponsor Cowes Yacht Haven hosts the world-famous premier sailing regatta
Since 1826 Cowes Week has played a key part in the British sporting summer calendar and is one of the UK’s longest running and most successful sporting events.
Cowes Week always offers a great mix of competitive sailing and social activities. The competitors range from Olympic and world class professionals to weekend sailors. Visitors come to watch the racing, enjoy the parties, and experience the unique atmosphere. It is genuinely a one-of-a-kind event.
With over 1000 yachts participating, from high-tech racing boats to classic day boats, and with around 8,000 people involved, it’s no wonder that Cowes Week is the longest running regular regatta in the world.
As well as sailing activities, Cowes Week offers a large number of onshore activities. Around 50,000 visitors in addition to all the competitors are attracted to Cowes each year by the festival atmosphere of the event.
